Fabula Appleby 2 Light Table Lamp - Matt Black, Antique Brass & Cognac Glass

Industrial Meets Opulent

Appleby combines raw industrial character with luxurious glass. A matt black central frame hosts a complex tangle of antique brass tubes that suggest an old pipework system or vintage factory architecture. Inside sit two G9 lamp holders, each set behind a cognac tinted globe shade. The warm glass tone is built into the shade itself, so you get that amber glow without needing a tinted bulb.

Choosing Your Finish

The contrast between matt black and antique brass creates visual richness even when switched off. Matt black brings weight and definition to the composition, while the polished brass catches light and adds lustre. Cognac glass adds warmth and a sense of occasion. Together, these finishes feel curated rather than accidental, suiting homes with urban, loft or eclectic sensibilities.

How It Works

Two G9 bulb holders sit inside the cognac glass shades, each rated for up to 10W maximum. An inline switch provides on/off control. If you choose dimmable G9 bulbs and pair them with a compatible dimmer switch, you can adjust brightness throughout the evening. Class II electrical rating provides safe double insulation without needing an earth connection.

Where It Works Best

This lamp suits a living room where its visual complexity and dual glow add atmosphere to an evening gathering. It works beautifully in a study or home office, where the warm cognac tone softens the geometry of desk work. Position it on a console table in a hallway for a statement piece, or use it as a distinctive bedside option if you prefer visual interest over simplicity. The dual shades mean it throws good light despite its artistic bent.

Design Details

The brass tubes are assembled to suggest industrial heritage without feeling historical or costume like. They're genuine brass, which patinas naturally over years, so the piece gains character with age. The cognac glass spheres are solid, giving each shade weight and substance. The black frame holds everything in composition without disappearing. The overall effect is contemporary in its mixed materials approach while drawing on industrial and vintage references for visual language.

Questions People Ask

Will this lamp work in a modern space?
Yes, many contemporary homes embrace industrial and mixed material design. The cognac glass softens the brass framework, and the matt black grounds the piece. It works particularly well with metal furniture or in a room with a loft aesthetic.

Can I dim this lamp?
Yes, if you use dimmable G9 bulbs and install a compatible dimmer on your wall switch. Standard G9 bulbs can't be dimmed, so this only works with dimmable variants.
